I just read that the police have identified a suspect and have prepared a warrant for arrest.

White Ram pickup with an American flag. Intoxicated is my guess for not stopping.

Terrible.

Probably no way to prove intoxication at this point. Phone records could be looked at for distractions.

What's worse? DUI and stop, or hit and run and get caught later?
Appears he chose the latter in a panic.

The article says the woman killed was walking her dog. Anyone know if the dog made it?

I'm guessing the dog survived.....in the list of charges....
No mention of hitting a dog and not reporting it.
They cited him for tinted windows and no permit for such.
So they obviously are "throwing the book" at him.

So hopefully the dog is ok....

I was shocked to hear he is an Easton Fireman, these guys run to help, this guy ran away. He was probably relieved when he heard the first description was a Dark colored Jeep, figures "Heck, I might get away with this"
